About This School

University of Mount Olive is a private nonprofit institution located in Mount Olive, North Carolina with approximately 1,754 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Mount Olive has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 78%. The average net price after financial aid is $17,893 per year. The graduation rate is 47%, and the typical graduate earns $43,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

The University of Mount Olive is a private university in Mount Olive, North Carolina, United States. Chartered in 1951, the university is sponsored by the Original Free Will Baptist Convention and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. A member of the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas, its sports teams compete as the Mount Olive Trojans.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the affordable net price of $17,893/year and modest debt load ($20,811) are genuine strengths, but a 47% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish — that's a real concern worth asking the school about directly. Median earnings of $43,700 a decade out are modest but workable given the relatively low debt. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-affiliated community in rural North Carolina and have a clear plan to stay on track to graduation.
